Question

Estimated the sum of $\text{6826 and 11469}$rounded off to hundreds is $18,000$ .

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Finding the sum by estimation method:

While doing addtion using estimation method, we need to round off both the number to highest position of smaller number among them.

In the given numbers $\text{6826 and 11469}$, $6826$is smaller, so we need to round off both the number to nearest thousand.

Rounding off both the number to nearest thousand :

Since, $6826$lies between $6000\&7000$and it is nearer to $7000$, therefore round off value is $7000.$

Similarly, since, $11469$lies between $11000\&12000$and it is nearer to $11000$, therefore round off value is $11000.$

Now, $7000+11000=18000$

Hence, the given statement is true.
